The Narendra Modi government is planning to move a resolution against Governor Kamla Beniwal in the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Assembly — the first such move in the 51-year history of the state — as the controversy over the appointment of a Lokayukta by the Governor snowballed into a full-fledged political battle in Delhi.
The state government has already challenged the Governor’s move of appointment of the Lokayukta in the Gujarat High Court. Highly-placed sources in the state government said the issue has turned political and the Opposition Congress is making it a big issue. “So to counter the Congress attack, the Government’s strategy is to raise the issue of alleged misuse of powers by the Governor on Congress direction. The government is seriously thinking of bringing a no-confidence resolution against the Governor and appeal for her recall from the state,” a source said.
